On Saturday, June 13th, at 2:30pm, merchants gathered with residents from across the metro to kneel for nine minutes. Families and friends arrived with masks, signs and open hearts for a peaceful demonstration in honor of George Floyd and in solidarity with the Black community. The event was part of the national #KneelForNine movement which encouraged people to kneel in solidarity to grieve and show support for change. Approximately 600 people were in attendance, including many Brookside merchants and residents.

We value and stand with the many Black men and women, leaders, mentors, business owners, employees, patrons, friends and neighbors to condemn the inequality, racism, discrimination and hatred that has again been brought to light by recent events and includes the murder of George Floyd.
As a community we have to stand together with all the victims of murder, racism, brutality and systematic demise that African American’s experience as a result of the color of their skin.
We pledge to not only be allies, but to listen, learn, support and be part of the solution.
